I love these pillows. I used the floor size pillows on my couch, with this one in the center. The quality is awesome and the color is super close to the picture. The only surprise was the backing being a greenish dupioni silk-like fabric. But it looks expensive. In fact, mine look like they came with the couch. Just make sure you would be ok with a green back.
The pillow was okay, I just thought it was more like a indoor/outdoor fabric! It still works nicely on a side chair in a bedroom!
The pattern for this pillow I love it. I ordered four different sizes ranging from the largest to the smallest. I also have the chair and ottoman. I love the color choice and design. I would definitely recommend this product!
The colors of the pillows are exactly what I expected and works well with my decor. The only problem is that the seams don't line up, uneven.
It was much smaller than specs provided. I had to send it back and get the larger ones with which I am completely happy!
This is one of four pillows I ordered for my guest bedroom. All the pillows were of great quality. Would order these again in different colors.
Everything was perfect. Great seller and great product!

Winter 2008/2009 – Special Edition: Managing Your Money in Good Times and Bad
When a Debt Collector Calls
People who are late making payments on a loan, a credit card or other bills may eventually be contacted by a "debt collector," a third-party hired by the original lender. Dealing with a debt collector can be stressful. But be aware that if you are overdue on a bill and get contacted by a debt collector, the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act requires that you be treated fairly and without harassment.
In general, the law prohibits certain unfair and deceptive collection practices. For example, the law prohibits a debt collector from calling you before 8 a.m. and after 9 p.m., unless you agree. The law requires a debt collector to stop contacting you if you make the request in writing.
Also, within 30 days from the initial contact made by a debt collector, you have a right to dispute any of the debt you are told you owe. If you dispute the bill in writing, the debt collector can't contact you again to collect the money until you are provided with proof of the debt, such as a copy of a bill.
If you have a problem with a debt collector, you can report it to your state Attorney General's office (listed in your local phone book or other directories) and the Federal Trade Commission (visit www.ftc.gov or call toll-free 1-877-FTC-HELP, which is 1-877-382-4357).
Note that the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act covers debt collectors but not banks or others that lend the money initially. However, under federal law governing unfair or deceptive business practices, banks cannot engage in abusive behavior when trying to collect a debt. If you have a question or a concern about your bank's practices, contact its federal or state banking regulator. You have the right to file a complaint with the regulator if you believe the bank acted improperly or illegally. If you're not sure how to locate that regulator, you can contact the FDIC for guidance (see Sources of Help and Information on Managing Your Money).
Also be on guard against scam artists who prey on people who are late paying their bills by offering to "help" by reducing or eliminating their debts.
"Consumers should be especially wary of promotions and unsolicited offers by companies that advertise credit counseling services or that promise to settle your debts with your creditors for less than you owe," said Deirdre Foley, an FDIC Senior Policy Analyst. "While there are many reputable organizations that offer credit counseling or that help consumers manage their debts, other companies charge high fees for questionable services or for services that are never delivered." (Also see When the Economy Cools Down, Financial Scams Heat Up for tips on how to avoid mortgage rescue schemes and a variety of credit-related frauds.)
Foley added that before working with any company or organization that says it will settle or negotiate your debts, check it out with your state Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau.

On Sept.24 who will win W.Klitschko or S. Peter ?
Frank B.
|Current Champs
|The Cyber Boxing Zone Message Board
On Sept.24 who will win W.Klitschko or S. Peter ?
Frank B.
I like Peter here by KO.
Karl I hope you are right because I am tired of the Klitscko's for the most part. I guess if everyone werent talking about how great they are (most people on this site excluded) I guess I would like them but I guess I am tired of the HBO publicity machine. Anyway I have an intuition that Klitschko is going to get it done in this fight and Peter's face first style will catch up to him. By the way if Peter wins I am sure in a year or two I will be sick of the Peter Machine.
Wlad, by TKO after 5 or 6 rounds of keeping his jab in Peter's face, and dropping an occasional right hand in. Peter's a one-dimensional fighter who only knows one way--straight in.
I kind of favor Vlad in this one. Hes got the equipment and Manny must be sure of him to risk a bout with Peter. I think Vlads Simon Pure experience will help in this one. He wont be overwhelmed by Peters personna. He just has to box and move. Vlad in a upset nod.
I've gotta go with Peter here. Wlad's lack of chin and stamina more than outweighs his pop and boxing skill. Especially with a guy like Peter trying to take his head off, I doubt Lil' Klit will really feel comfortable enough to sit down on his punches the way he'll have to in this one.
I think Little K will win the 1st 3 rounds but it should be only a matter of time until Sam catches him. Peter by KO, somewhere around rounds 4-6. Wlad doesn't have a chin and his stamina won't last long against an aggressive opponent. Should be fun while it lasts though.
Moorer was on FNF last night, and he's calling Lil' Klit to win in 9 rounds.
I'm going with Wladimir Klitschko in this one. I've seen Samuel Peter fight in person, and while he has excellent power he is crude and wild swinging. One step to the left or the right by his opponents throws Peter totally off balance. Many will call me crazy, but I still think Wlad can go a long way in this moribound heavyweight division.
Emanuel Steward wouldn't put Wlad in there with Peter if he didn't think he could win. Steward is about the most cautious guy out there when it comes to matching his fighters - but he is also a very accurate judge of talent and style matchups. On pretty much every card that Manny calls for HBO he picks the proper winner nearly every time. He has an uncanny ability to see how styles and fighters will match up against each other and then who will win.
If Manny can get Wlad to relax and pace himself, I think it will be a surprisingly easy fight for the young Klitschko.
You'd have to use a bell curve to even say Peter has poor footwork. He's got brontosaurus legs and he really needs them to get in position to land or even throw. If wladimir doesn't wade in and makes peter come to him he really has zero % worries about the guy cutting off the ring. He's a short plodder that just follows and really doesn't even have the footwork of tua and like tons of recent heavyweights--doesn't do anything off his toes. I really think larry holmes could come out of retirement and could make him look real real bad if not outright win a decision against sam peter right now.
The other factor in this bout is the superior corner of klitschko. I used to like team duva when george benton was there and he had all those boxers. They used to do an excellent job w/ everyone. Since benton, it's been guys like tommy brooks and roger bloodworth and Lou Duva just doesn't have that midas touch anymore. More like a medussa touch if you think about it, since his guys always seem to lose the big one's recently.
This is the lesser of the 2 klits. I think peter catches him with a haymaker and knocks him out. I'm going to this one.
You cannot overestimate the strength of Peter. That may prove fatal in close. When this guy throws and misses the follow through is enough to knock a fighter back. The ultimate of ironies would be if Wlad played the matador and took Peter into the later rounds and KOed him. He's going to have to have a 20' ring to do it though. No details of the ring size, but Wlad faired poorly in that 16' ring against Sanders and Peter was brutal in his 16'er against Diaz.
Come Saturday 9/24/05 who is going to win
this fight?
Frank B.
All I know is that suddenly a lot of people are starting to side with ol Wlad in this one. I think its a free for all but if Peters doesn't take this one seriously, he may learn something the hard way.
I'm going with Sam by early round KO or stoppage.
Though I wouldn't be shocked if Wlad outboxed and stopped him late, or even early for that matter.
Not a good fight to bet money on. Too many x factors (Sam's chin vs. true knockout power and Wlad's mindset on Saturday night to name a few).
If the chin doesn't decide this before 5 rounds, then it's going to be all about stamina. I don't have faith in either of these guys in regards to stamina!
I'm sticking with Peter by KO before 6. Can't wait to see it, an interesting bout between heavyweight contenders.... wow. Maybe some other guys in the division with grow some stones and risk a little.
man...some of the opinions from guys that i have so much respect for...making me doubt my gut reaction when hearing this fight was made. my first thought was peter blows him right out. what was said about sam's footwork is true. he is a plodder and at one time i would have bet on wlad beating him...but i fear wlad has developed a taste for the canvas.
i think manny and company have probably worked hard with wlad and feel he has prepared properly. if his stamina is an issue here it may be more fear sapping his strength than a lack of preparation.
maybe steward feels this is a put up or shut up bout for wlad. if he wins he will have made a huge leap over past efforts.
still how many heavyweights today come back from the kinds of defeat wlad has tasted. i just can't see him staying out of serious trouble in a long fight. of course i am not sure how much power sam peter retains in a big fight scenario. i could see him petering out and getting picked apart if he lets wlad build his courage....naw....i still go with sam early.
I have Peter to win by KO 3.
I'm picking Wlad by ko against a game Peter.
I originally thought this was a bad style match up for Wlad. Peter can beat every heavy in the division but Vitali and even that bout is iffy. Peter may be stronger than Foreman and he has the momentum of a locomotive.
However I surprised and pleased how fast Wlad jumped on this bout. The BS and easy pickings are gone. The man has a plan and wants his reputation back. He can also box beautifully and has some decent footwork and great power. The only question is whether he can handle the strength and pressure Peter brings which is immense. Peter's chin is expected to be tested, but I suspect he's fairly solid.
I'm going to say Peter is trying to impress and will be overanxious and Wlad carefully picks his shots and counters him, knocking him down early as he lunges off balance. I also expect Peter to club Wlad to the canvas fairly early. I would expect that Manny has been working on defense off the ropes with Wlad. We'll see. I think he keeps it together long enough to tire out Peter enough in mid rounds and puts together a TKO stoppage. If Wlad attempts to dominate Peter he will be steamrolled. You have to box a Peter and only slug as a last resort.
I still don't see ring size listed. Small ring favors Peter, big one favors Wlad. I am assuming a big ring. Anyone have any clues how to find out that info? I almost never see it mentioned.
Both fighters will put on a show regardless and I don't understand the sniping against them. I hope both their stocks rise after the bout. Wlad can still be a ruler of the division and Peter most assuredly will hold a belt soon enough also. I like the intelligence these two brought to the promotion and it is not without irony that it will take a bout between two foreign nationals to light a fire in the division.
I'm excited about the fight. I thought Vlad had exceptional talent less his chin. He did not dog anything. He simply got exposed by Saunders. The guy diod keep on getting up. He was brilliant against Brewster before his collapse. Who the hell knows. It is a bit strange.
No matter what the guy will never be unbeatable. His fights will always be nail biters because of his chin and recooperative powers. However, his other skills are so good if he gets his act together maybe he becomes a heavyweight Terry Norris ...
Too much experience, too much left jab, too much power.
I'm not too impressed with Peter. He's basically the version of Tua who fought Lewis and thereafter . . .a slow plodding guy with little skill throwing widely. He had power and the energy of youth, and may even be able to take a good shot, but unless Wlad mentally falls apart from the pressure, which could happen, I'm feel fairly comfortable in picking a Klitschko TKO win.
I wouldn't bet on it though . . .
W. Klitschko-Peter bout has heavy implications
By Chuck Johnson, USA TODAY
Three main ingredients for a crowd-pleasing fight are two solid opponents and, most important, an element of suspense. Saturday night's 12-round main event at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall between comeback-minded Wladimir Klitschko and unbeaten Samuel Peter appears to have the proper mix.
                Klitschko is aiming to get his title hopes back on track.
By Reed Saxon, AP
Indeed, the bout is generating excitement and anticipation that's been missing in the heavyweight division for a long time.
"It's by far the most meaningful and intriguing heavyweight matchup of the year to date," promoter Dino Duva says. "It's going to have huge implications on the heavyweight division and boxing in general."
Although no title is on the line, the Klitschko-Peter winner will become the mandatory challenger for the IBF and WBO titles held by Chris Byrd and Lamon Brewster, respectively.
"In addition, there's no question that the winner of this fight establishes himself as the hottest and most important heavyweight in the world," Duva says.
Not long ago, Wladimir Klitschko (44-3, 40 KOs), the 6-6 younger brother of WBC champion Vitali Klitschko, was the WBO champ and a sure-bet future star. But knockout losses to Corrie Sanders in 2003 and Brewster in 2004 took the Ukrainian off the fast track.
"I'm seen as the underdog in this fight, and there's a lot of questions about my stamina and endurance," says Klitschko, who makes his home in Hamburg. "I think the best answer is going to be my fight. I'm not worried about my confidence at all I'm worried about my opponent. But being the underdog gives me great motivation."
Peter (24-0, 21 KOs) is nicknamed "The Nigerian Nightmare" and has shown impressive power in knocking out most of his opponents. But many see him as a raw talent who's taking a big chance stepping up against an accomplished fighter.
"Nobody knows me yet, but they'll find out (Saturday) if I'm real or not," he says. "What's going to happen is going to happen. I'm ready to move forward."
The fight is on HBO (10 ET) along with the WBO super lightweight title co-feature between champion Miguel Cotto (24-0) and Ricardo Torres (28-0).
If Klitschko shows up with any stamina in his gym bag, he can win this fight...he has to box carefully and pick his shots: he should have lots of opportunities to chosse from as Peter's defense is suspect, as in pretty much non-existent.
If Klit starts sucking air, he's gone in 6.
I've given this fight more thought than it actually deserves & here is what I've come up with:
I think Wlad has all the physical tools & the right style to beat a crude brawler like Peter ... BUT, he also has a heart the size of a raisin which he has proved to us more than once. Remember his fight against a totally shot Mercer?
Ray only landed 6 punches in the bout yet he still busted up Wlad pretty good. Wlad won because Mercer was so far gone. Peter is active, bullish in the ring & his best bet is to give Klit no breathing room & just keep punching.
If he does that he should stop Wlad in 3-5 rounds. BUT ... If Wlad somehow grows some stones & can get past 5 rounds the fight could get very interesting. Mainly because we have no idea how much stamina Peter himself is going to have past the middle rounds.
I'll go with Peter early but if it goes past 5 the fight might very well be a toss up.
Calvin Brock on Klitschko-Peter
by Robert Mladinich
The highly anticipated September 24th Boardwalk Brawl between Wladimir Klitschko of Kiev, Ukraine, and Samuel Peter of Las Vegas, via Nigeria, has the boxing world abuzz. Forget the fact that the winner is guaranteed a shot at the IBF title, which is currently held by Chris Byrd. This fight is so attractive, it doesnt need any titular designation to add to its appeal.
J.E. Grant of TheSweetScience.com has called it the years most important non-title bout. Not surprisingly, in a fight of such magnitude, everyone has an opinion. The big questions are whether or not the chin-challenged Klitschko, 44-3 (40 KOs) can survive Peters bone-jarring power or whether the relatively inexperienced Peter, 24-0 (21 KOs), can get through Klitschkos ramrod left jab and sleep-inducing right hand.
One person who has more than a passing interest in the outcome is undefeated heavyweight Calvin Brock of Charlotte, North Carolina. With a record of 26-0 (21 KOs), he recently passed on the opportunity to fight WBC champion Vitali Klitschko, Wladimirs brother, because he had just gotten married and did not have time to prepare properly.
While he picks Vitali to easily defeat Hasim Rahman in their upcoming bout, he is not so certain when it comes to picking Wladimir to beat Peter. That fight, he says, has so many intangibles that picking a winner is not so easy. When pressed, however, he believes that Peter will prevail.
Both guys are really hard punchers, so anything can happen, said Brock, who became acquainted with Peter when both were competing in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. (Neither Brock or Peter, who represented his native Nigeria, won a medal). But I have to think that Peter hits harder and is hungrier. He is coming off several very impressive knockouts, so he has momentum in his favor. Hes going to have to keep his hands up, stay away from Wladimirs jab, and take Wladimir out of his game.
Although Peter has looked very dangerous stopping Taurus Sykes, Gilbert Martinez, Yanqui Diaz and Jeremy Williams in his last four fights, it is not easy to forget just how ordinary he looked in winning dull decisions over Jovo Pudar and Charles Shufford in the two bouts leading up to that knockout streak.
I think Samuel took those guys lightly because he was so confident, explained Brock. Fights like those are actually good, because you realize you cant knock everyone out. Afterwards he went out and knocked out four guys in a row. So I would look at that as a positive more than a negative.
After the Olympics, Brock and Peter were reacquainted in Las Vegas where both were trained by Pops Anderson for a time. They became good friends and often dined, worshipped and even went to the movies together. They also sparred on several occasions.
The first time, in 2001, was pretty even, said Brock. But the second time, in 2002, Samuel had gained about 10 pounds and was up around 240 where he is now. Even though we were boxing lightly because I was finishing up training for a bout, I could feel his power. That extra 10 pounds was all muscle. He was so much quicker, and so much stronger. It was scary how strong he was.
Although the refreshingly clean-cut, devoutly spiritual Brock is not a betting man, if compelled to place a wager he would bet heavily on Peter. Samuel is a good all-around guy, he said. Hes a clean-living, God-fearing man who is totally dedicated to boxing. Hes been to the Olympics, so he is used to pressure. Hes already learned that he cant knock everyone out, which is an important lesson to learn, especially for such a hard puncher. I think the timing is perfect for him to look good against Wladimir.
As far as his own career is concerned, Brock is scheduled to have a stay-busy fight against an opponent to be determined on October 29th. Conceivably it could take place at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, from which he graduated with a degree in business administration with a major in finance. (Brocks wife Yolanda is a law student at Duke University).
Asked if there was any chance of marital bliss making him soft or quelling his pugilistic desire, the always amiable, refreshingly honest Brock said that was impossible. Im hungrier than Ive ever been, he said. Nothing is going to stop me and nothing is going to make me soft. Im still the same Calvin Brock, still dreaming of becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. When I finally get that title, I plan on keeping it for a long time.
He has no regrets about turning down the fight with Vitali Klitschko, saying the timing was just not right and that he would have been cheating both himself and his fans if he went in ill-prepared. He calls Vitali a Class-A fighter and says that, as far as he is concerned, hes the man to beat in the heavyweight division.
Presuming Brock gets past Vitali when and if they ever meet, one might wonder if he would be able to fight Peter, with whom he shares so much more than a vocation. He and Peter are inherently decent, very religious, and known for living exemplary lives outside of the ring. When Brock talks about Peter, and vice versa, the mutual respect they each put forth is readily apparent.
If the time ever comes where I have to fight Samuel, I would be happy to, said Brock. Boxing is only our business, so it wouldnt affect our friendship. I wouldnt be able to trash talk him, but then I never trash talk anybody. When the time is right for Samuel and me to fight, well do it. We might beat each other up in the ring, but Im sure well be friends afterwards.
I think Gor's assessment is right on...but I also think that the comparison to Mercer may be right on for this fight as a positive for Wlad as they (Mercer & Peter) have simliar body types and styles to some degree though Mercer was more talented.
I think the early go of it will be 50/50.
The forward plodding target Peter is certainly available to walk into a big shot from one of the best punchers in boxing and just as easily he could decide to really get physical with Wlad and get him unravelled. The deeper it goes IMO, the more I would tend to say Wlad has a chance...& has Peter even shown us any late KO power?
It's easy to say that Peter can walk down Wlad but I also think Peter has no idea how it feels to be hit and I think Wlad's hook & straight right are 2 solid introductions. Besides being slow, Peter does not move his body or his head. IMO, Peter will be a sitting duck for someone as accurate and powerful as Wlad. I think once Peter gets tagged just a little with some quality Wlad shots, I think his inexperience may begin to show.
Interesting scrap & I'll be happy for the winner either way. I am really curious how the Shufford comparison plays into all of this in the end as well (if at all). I think Peter is fairly limited and would only get exposed as he moves up the latter but it will probably be a fun ride. Maybe I'm grading him too hard on the Shufford fight but I really haven't seen much of a reason to pick him over any of the usual top 10 yet. I would rather see Wlad correct himself, be a good comeback story & move onward. In the end, they both may have the same shelf life anyway. Personally I'd rather watch Wlad KO someone with style than a flailing toughman approach.
I think this is a dumb fight for Peter quite honestly. I think there are other less dangerous fights with less of downside to them which accomplish much of the same thing. Wlad needs this fight a boatload more than Peter and in the end that may be the difference here as there is chance that Peter feels he doesn't have much work ahead of him. I know Wlad discounts nothing at this point.
Feels dumb to put this much thought into a fight that could end in 30 seconds without learning much.
I think the biggest question in this fight is how big a punch can Peter take. Two out of the three times Wlad hit a wall (Puritty and Brewster), he did so after having landed thunderous punches on his foes (against Sanders he never got started). It so happened that those two guys had good beards, took the shots, and came back to exploit the Ukranian's poor stamina. So, if Peter can take a good shot (because he will get hit), that will spell doom for Wlad and he will follow the same fate he did on those two other fights.
Team Klitschko Looking for Excuses (Again)?
Demand fight gloves be weighed
In what New Jersey State Athletic Commissioner Larry Hazzard described as a new level of dumb, in boxing, Team Wladimir Klitschko demanded that the boxing gloves to be used tomorrow night, when the former WBO champion faces Samuel Peter at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, be weighed to ensure they are the regulation 10 ounces.
According to Hazzard, he was contacted by Klitschko boxing adviser Shelly Finkel, public relations advisor Bernd Bonte and K-2 Promotions coordinator Burt Watson and told that Klitschkos camp would be bringing a small scale to todays undercard weigh-in (the main event weigh-in was held yesterday) to ensure there was nothing irregular about the weight of either fighters gloves an implication that enraged glove manufacturer Grant Elvis Phillips.
If I said it didnt bother me, Id be lying. This one here crosses the line with me. I take it personally. For someone to insinuate that we would favor someone is pretty offensive. It shows zero confidence on the part of Klitschkos people. I only had one other experience like this when Roy Jones fought John Ruiz. Roy had custom brown gloves and John Ruiz had black. (Ruiz manager) Stony (Stone) started a whole thing about the gloves and got punched in his face for it. Unfortunately, the same thing didnt happen to Bernd Bonte tonight.
When informed of this highly irregular request, Peter manager Ivaylo Gotzev says he was mildly amused. The problem is not the gloves, he explained. What they should be worried about is whats in them: a left and a right hand from Samuel, and its too late for them to stop that now.
Both camps agreed on the Grant gloves, added event promoter, Dino Duva. They are sealed at the factory and were opened in front of them at the weigh-in. After the weigh-in, the commission kept the gloves, so I havent even seen them.
This is not the first time Team Wladimir has suspected wrongdoing. After his last defeat (a TKO 5 to Lamon Brewster), the Ukrainian and his people leveled accusations of deliberate poisoning and overly vasolined legs to explain the loss.
There is dumb sh** in boxing all the time, concluded an obviously annoyed Hazzard, but this is definitely a first for me.

Graduated Driver Licensing: Keeping Teens Safe
March 30, 2009
By Matt Hubert
Teens are statistically the most dangerous drivers on the road. From cell phones and loud music to teenage passengers and unbuckled seatbelts, numerous distractions contribute to crashes among young inexperienced drivers. According to the Insurance Information Institute's 2006 data, more than 57 percent of drivers between the ages of 16 and 20 are involved in motor vehicle accidents. A program called Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) is helping reduce that number.
As a three-phase process, GDL ensures that teen drivers gain valuable experience before earning full licenses. States that have adopted elements of graduated licensing have found crash reductions of approximately 10-30 percent.
Erie Insurance's role in GDL
Erie Insurance supports GDL in all of its territories. The company was influential in bringing GDL to Virginia. With the support of Erie Insurance, a group of Agents began a grassroots effort in Virginia where they worked with policyholders, legislators and other insurance companies to get GDL legislation passed into law. The legislation went into effect in July 2001.
Paul Chadowski of Chadowski Insurance Agency in Fairfax, Va., helped spearhead the cause.
"It was just a great effort between Erie Insurance and us," he said. "We were definitely on the same page. We knew this was right, and ERIE gave me free reign and great people to work with."
Chadowski, the father of a teen driver himself, says there's another, residual benefit of GDL.
"As parents, we set the guidelines, but we are thankful to get a little help from the law," he says. "With GDL in place, we can say, 'Sorry, you can't get your license until then.'"
How programs compare
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) rates the GDL programs in all 50 states. According to their standards, no state has an optimal GDL program in place as of 2008.
IIHS uses a point system to score the states for the seven components of a GDL system. A state can earn one point in each of the following categories:
- Learner's entry age
- Learner's holding period
- Practice driving certification
- Night driving restriction
- Passenger restriction
- Driver education
- Duration of restrictions
States scoring a total of 6 or more points are rated "Good." States scoring 4-5 points are rated "Fair." States scoring 2-3 points are rated "Marginal." And states that score 0-1 point are rated "Poor."
GDL ratings for Erie Insurance's Territories as of September 2008:
- Good: District of Columbia, Illinois, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin
- Fair: Indiana, West Virginia
Visit http://www.iihs.org/laws/graduatedLicenseIntro.aspx for detailed information about each state's GDL rating.

Fargo's 500 Year Flood Protection Could Impact Grand Forks' ProtectionThe Red River Basin Commission has questioned in the past whether a 500-year protection in Fargo and 700-year protection in Manitoba could drastically lower the effectiveness of flood protection in Grand Forks.
By: David Schwab, WDAZ
Grand Forks and East Grand Forks' flood protection system was built to protect the cities through severe flooding of the Red and Red Lake rivers.
Grand Forks City Engineer Mark Walker: "1997 was just something less then a 250 year flood event, This project was designed for a 250 year flood."
Fargo and Moorhead area leaders are pushing for a 500 year flood protection project.
Joe Belford/Red River Basin Commissioner: "They are lower on down the chain of the Red River, more tributaries come into it. So it creates heavier flows."
Red River Basin board member Joe Belford says just how a 500-year a flood project might affect the flow of Red River through greater Grand Forks isn't exactly known. Especially since the Fargo protection would likely include a diversion project that could speed water around the community. The Basin board has questioned in the past whether a 500-year protection in Fargo and 700-year protection in Manitoba could drastically lower the effectiveness of flood protection in Grand Forks. Belford wonders how it might perform.
Joe Belford/Red River Basin Commissioner: "Put the elevations in, put levies up. They were dealing with the worst possible flood that they have had. And of course it's protected. If the inflows go higher out of Fargo they may need more protection."
While Grand Forks didn't end up with the same level of flood protection as Fargo may get, Walker isn't complaining.
Grand Forks City Engineer Mark Walker: "I'm just thankful for what we have today. I remember the old days of hauling clay on Columbia road. I'm just so thankful that we have what we have."
The Corps of Engineers does say that communities immediately downstream from Fargo could experience a 4 to 10 inch rise in flood levels after Fargo's protection system is built.
Right now the dikes in Grand Forks protect the city from river levels up to 57 feet. Another 3 feet of clay could be added to them for 60 feet of protection, which is the level of the flood walls.

An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that occurs outside the womb (uterus). It is life-threatening to the mother.
Tubal pregnancy; Cervical pregnancy; Tubal ligation-ectopic pregnancy
In most pregnancies, the fertilized egg travels through the fallopian tube to the womb (uterus). Anything that blocks or slows the movement of this egg through these tubes can lead to ectopic pregnancy:
The following also increase your risk of an ectopic pregnancy:
Sometimes the cause is unknown. Hormones may play a role.
The most common site for an ectopic pregnancy is within one of the two fallopian tubes. In rare cases, ectopic pregnancies can occur in the ovary, abdomen, or cervix
An ectopic pregnancy can occur even if you use birth control.
If the area around the abnormal pregnancy ruptures and bleeds, symptoms may get worse. They may include:
The health care provider will do a pelvic exam. This may show tenderness in the pelvic area.
A pregnancy test and vaginal ultrasound will be done.
HCG is a hormone normally produced during pregnancy. Checking the blood level of this hormone (quantitative HCG blood test
) can diagnose pregnancy. If the blood level of HCG is not rising fast enough, your doctor may suspect an ectopic pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy is life-threatening. The pregnancy cannot continue to birth (term). The developing cells must be removed to save the mother's life.
You will need emergency medical help if the area of the ectopic pregnancy breaks open (ruptures). Rupture can lead to bleeding and shock, an emergency condition. Treatment for shock may include:
If there is a rupture, surgery is done to stop blood loss and remove the pregnancy. In some cases, the doctor may have to remove the fallopian tube.
If the ectopic pregnancy has not ruptured, treatment may include:
One out of three women who have had one ectopic pregnancy are later able to have a baby. Another ectopic pregnancy is more likely to occur. Some women do not become pregnant again.
The likelihood of a successful pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy depends on:
Call your doctor or nurse if you have:
An ectopic pregnancy can occur even if you use birth control.
Most forms of ectopic pregnancy that occur outside the fallopian tubes are probably not preventable. But a tubal pregnancy may be prevented in some cases by avoiding conditions that might scar the fallopian tubes. The following may reduce your risk:

|Solution: F-Secure security solutions as service to the customers of Data Group: F-Secure Protection Service for Business, spam filtering, email encryption, mobile security
Benefits of the solution- F-Secure service is easier to deploy than traditional product solutions
- F-Secure service products make it easy to provide solutions to the individual customer needs
- F-Secure's specific support for each product, superior to many others
Data Group provides IT solutions as a service to SMBs
Data Group is a Finnish-based IT specialist store chain established in 1992. The purchasing, marketing and sales activities of its member stores are coordinated by Data Group Finland Oy. The total turnover for the store chain is close to EUR 67 million.
Each Data Group store knows well the local needs and considers these in the product and service offering. The group aims to provide all the IT solutions for SMB customer needs. The group's strong expertise is based on continuous training and utilization of the knowledge acquired through experience on customer service.
- Each of our member stores is familiar with the special local needs. Being customer-oriented, active and available are highly important things for us. We operate nationwide and are the largest IT chain in Finland. We have 54 locations, and over 300 people work for our chain, tells Timo Vilenius, CEO in Data Group Finland Oy.
Nationwide expertise, local service
The customers of Data Group are in the SMB sector. A typical customer is an entrepreneur with 1-50 workstations in his company. The customer base also includes public sector organizations and consumers. The stores provide solutions according to the needs of each customer. Utilizing the knowhow of the whole group, a local Data Group store can provide comprehensive service to its customers. Group's service products have now some 11.000 customers.
- We are truly a local partner. We understand the local needs while providing nationwide benefits to our customers. They can get comprehensive security services from us, all the way from the data centers to mobile devices, tells Vilenius.
- We have the same size as our customers, and know well the challenges of being an entrepreneur. The customer gets everything for their needs easily from us. We make things simple for our customers and speak their language. Postsales service is important too.
- For instance, the customers want to have their security scaled right to their current needs. This is where we need to provide flexibility, upwards and downwards. Security scalability brings cost efficiencies to the customer.
Best partners, best service solutions
Data Group selects the best products and partners for its service portfolio. F-Secure's Certified Gold Partnership proves that Data Group knows F-Secure products intimately and has the technical expertise required.
- We choose our partners so that we can provide our customers with products that are clearly good. For security services, F-Secure is our most important partner. F-Secure products have developed in the same direction as our own service, Vilenius points out.
- For us, being a F-Secure Certified Gold Partner means that we know F-Secure products properly and are truly committed to our collaboration while being a trustworthy partner for F-Secure.
Service products bring cost efficiencies
Taking security service as an example, Data Group makes sure that the customer has always up-to-date protection and the latest technologies. Deploying a service product is easier for the customer than with traditional product solutions. With service products, customers only pay for what they need. Service products are also easier to budget.
- Service products are built on latest technology and tools. That's why the customer can always choose the best solution and get it affordably. And service comes with another added benefit - it's always more comprehensive than standalone hardware solutions. That's why SMBs use service products widely, tells Vilenius.
- Security must be as transparent as possible to the customer. Maintenance and use cannot take time from the customer. We always provide F-Secure's trustworthy solutions that satisfy the customer needs and support their business.
Outstanding collaboration with F-Secure
- We share with the other Data Group stores the knowhow we have acquired through experience on customer service, on both hardware and services. In addition to this, our strengths include understanding and expertise on a local level, explains Vilenius.
- Our collaboration with F-Secure has been outstanding, and we've been doing that for a long time. As for myself, I joined the group in 2006. The collaboration has developed much over the years. In 2008, we chose F-Secure as our Partner of the Year, and already back then we had reached the very good level of collaboration.
- With F-Secure, we can provide our customers with specific support for each product. This makes F-Secure a superior partner compared to many others. Our security offering is largely based on F-Secure solutions. Together with F-Secure we can provide better solutions that satisfy our customers, tells Vilenius.

BKE Culture Boot Stretch Jean 4 4
I love these jeans I am tall and have a hard time finding jeans that fit! Especially online. I am a huge fan. March 26, 2014
LOVE These are exactly what I was looking for! I am 5'9 and ordered a 27XL which are perfect for me! I love the fit of the bottom. I wanted something that was slim enough to fit inside my boots but were wider than a regular skinny jean. November 29, 2013
Flattering fit, very comfortable I LOVE these jeans. They are so comfortable to wear and do NOT stretch out - I can wear them over and over again before washing. November 21, 2013
Poor fit I ordered these in a 28 short and the price tags said that, but the label sewn in the jeans said 28x31.5 and that's what they were. Also, the leg opening on these is only 15" so I would consider that either skinny or straight leg which is why I consider these a poor fit. These will be going back! May 24, 2013

Whether treating a toddler in an emergency or supporting a teen through chemotherapy treatments, we are dedicated to the care of each patient. It's through teamwork at every level of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and with you, the family, that we are able to achieve excellence in pediatric care.
See more about us
With a proven track record of providing world-class care to patients in more than 30 pediatric specialties, we are a model for other pediatric hospitals. Infants, teens and young adults belong in a children's hospital where they can get specialized treatment from caregivers who know the important differences between children and adults.
See our clinical services
Do you have a question about your child's health? This section offers information that may help you.
View age-appropriate health information for your child.
Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children's seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
Children who are overweight are now suffering from diseases once seen only in adults, such as hypertension, liver disease and Type 2 diabetes. That's why Children's launched Strong4Life, a wellness movement designed to ignite societal change and reverse the epidemic of childhood obesity and its associated diseases in Georgia.
As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta relies on the generous financial and volunteer support of our community. Your donations directly impact the lives of each family served by Children's and support many initiatives such as clinical excellence, research, teaching, wellness and charity care.
Each year, more than 2 million people get sick because of infections. Everyone can help prevent infection by keeping their hands clean and remembering to FOAM UP while in the hospital.
Protect your child by practicing good hand hygiene (cleaning your hands). There are about 3,000 bottles of antibacterial foam throughout our hospitals, as well as sinks and soaps. Children's has a strict hand hygiene policy for staff and doctors. The FOAM UP: Clean Your Hands Campaign encourages everyone, staff and visitors alike, to practice good hand hygiene. We want to make sure our patients are protected and given the best care possible at all times.
Keeping your own hands clean is one of the most important things you can do while your child is in the hospital. And it is OK to ask people who are visiting or who are taking care of your child if they have cleaned their hands as well. When they enter your child's room just casually suggest, "Here, FOAM UP." It is simple as that.

Couldn't make it to The Clone Wars Season 4 panel featuring The Clone Wars supervising director Dave Filoni and producer Cary Silver, moderated by Lucasfilm's Pablo Hidalgo. Don't worry! Below are some of the panel highlights.
Dive right in!
Season 4 starts with an underwater story arc on the planet of Mon Calamari. Filoni said they wanted the cameras to have similar movements to underwater scuba camera. They had to create an entire civilization from the buildings to the population of the people — male and female fish, warriors, the Quarren army, etc.
It's a….!"
Captain Ackbar is indeed in this underwater story arc. There was some debate whether or not they should have Ackbar refer to traps, but they didn't do that.
Watch out for sharks!:
The shark-like race works with the Separatist. They have sharp teeth and bite the heads off of characters, but Filoni assures that it's not too violent because "bubbles make it better."
Kit Fisto is back!
"Everyone likes Kit Fisto because he smiles," Filoni says."He doesn't have his shirt on, so that's a bit of a Twilight reference."
Scuba Clone Troopers!
Kit Fisto has scuba clone troopers in Season 4. Filoni challenges the 501st Legion to come up with scuba trooper costumes!
New Clone Trooper Story Arc with Captain Rex:
Umbara is a new planet shrouded in darkness & for the first time you get to see clone troopers killing non-droids, but infact humaniods that live on the planet. All the technoloy the Umbarans fight with weapons you've never seen before. Fans have actually seen Umbarans before; Palpatine's creepy aid is an Umbaran. And a lot of the favorite troopers who have survived so far like Captain Rex and Fives will show up in this episode.
New Faces and Armor:
They changed the look of a lot of the main characters like Anakin, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan, so this season they upgraded the facial expressions on the clone faces and changed some of the armor as well. Captain Rex doesn't like the new armor because he thinks it's too disposable so he makes a hybrid of his old armor welded together with his new armor. He's worried that the Republic looks at the clones as more of a disposable army.
New Jedi Character: General Krell
He's the same species as Dexter Jettster! He's an uncoventional, powerful Jedi who causes the clones to question things in different ways.
C-3PO & R2-D2 have new adventures!
"Star Wars is like a fairy tale from their point of view," Filoni says. the classic animated series Droids was an inspiration.
Never Cry Wolffe
Clone trooper Wolffe returns but he's different than Rex since he lost all his men so he'sa bit of a "curmudgeon" and doesn't like C-3PO much.
Madame Mandalorian?
Filoni revealed that Battlestar Galactica actress Katee Sackoff will be voicing a female Mandalorian. He really wanted to have an actress voice her that really understood the fan culture. Filoni wanted to put a female Mandalorian on the show to give the woman fans another cool costume option to cosplay. Her helmet design is based on a barn owl because Filoni's wife likes owls. Director Jon Favreau will be back as Mandalorian Pre Vizsla, as well.
Nightsisters return!
Savage Opress, Asajj Ventress, and Nightsisters will return this season as well. (As Filoni mentions the Nightsisters return for Season 4, the geek girl cosplay collective Team Unicorn — dressed as Dathomir's Dark Side witches — walk up onstage! And he shows a clip that isn't completed yet and even George Lucas hasn't seen yet — of the Nightsisters fighting against battle droids!)
Bring on the Bounty Hunters!
Filoni says Cad Bane, Bossk, and Boba Fett will be back, along with an old favorite coming to the series — Dengar!
To Han or Not to Han?
A fan asks if we'll see a young Han Solo in the series. Filoni says no, unless Lucas really insisted on it. "I don't want to be the guy who defines that."
By Your Commando!
Filoni confirmed clone commandos will be on the show, but not Delta Squad because he doesn't want to mess with that continuity.
More Mortis on the way
"We're going to do more about those kinds of mystical things in the future. It won't be the last you hear of those types of stories. And you'll learn more about those Force wielders and what they are and how they fit into the bigger spectrum of things," Filoni says in answer to a fan's question on whether the Mortis planet was the home of the Force.
New Challenges for Ahsoka:
Lux's character might challenge Ahsoka's own feelings about someone that she care for. When a fan asks about her pending fate, Filoni says he's thought of about eight different possible outcomes for Ahsoka, but nothing has been decided yet.

It only took Reliance Home Comfort three days to meet and exceed its ambitious goal to raise $40,000 for the United Way Cambridge and North Dumfries.
One might say it was an in-your-face kind of campaign. Fundraising events included a pie in the face competition and a two-kilometre run.
The Cambridge company raised a whopping $43,000 by day three of the effort, a total which included individual donations, as well as a corporate donation matching employee contributions dollar for dollar.
Nearly $850,000 has been raised for the United Way campaign so far, about 35 per cent of the way to the $2.4-million target.
It's still early and many companies and groups are still working hard and creatively to raise money, noted Ron Dowhaniuk, executive director of the United Way.
"We know there's a whole lot of campaigning going on," he said, sending a message of encouragement to local fundraisers.
The United Way supports thousands of residents by working with partner agencies. To learn more about the campaign, visit uwcambridge.on.ca or call 519-621-1030.

I ave a macbook pro and a boot camp with XP can i make a default native boot to be xp without keeping the ALT key for os selection menu ???? and can i install only a XP on MAc without MAC os??
I ave a macbook pro and a boot camp with XP can i make a default native boot to be xp without keeping the ALT key for os selection menu ???? and can i install only a XP on MAc without MAC os??
Then why did you bought a MacBookPro, if you only want XP?
In OS X, open System Preferences>Startup Disk>[folder with bootcamp icon]
my company want to have a macs but only with XP installed not OSX is tis possible?
yes, do not run boot camp assistant, just pop in the XP CD, shut down your mac, turn it on, but before you turn it on, hold the C key, then you will boot into the XP installation CD, continue until you select where to install XP, select the 2nd partition, the one with more space, then select to format it in NTFS, quick or not quick doesn't matter, and follow the steps provided by the installer. But seriously give OSX a try, I suppose your MacBookPro came with Leopard, which is better than XP and Vista.
thx Roka3 i am using a MAC osx Leopard and its amazing i hate Vista and XP but my company want that shit so i must install anyway thx.
Why don't you use it in a virtual machine? No need for a reboot, acceptable speed.
Still, all this can be used in a VM (like I do it at work).
You can even install windows into a real partition and choose, weather you would like to boot it natively or in a virtual machine. Or have your windows installation in a spanning image.
If you need no directx/openGL or direct draw accellerated games, then a virtual machine gives you more comfort over a native installation, as you can use all the Mac OS related features like primary click by tap on the touchpad etc.
Parallels and VMware Fusion are the two commercial products on the market to do this.

is there any addon for LEOPARD which can connect the macosx to Active Directory and exchange?

Author Ron Soodalter Discusses The Slave Next Door: Human Slavery in America Today
The Kozmetsky Center invites the community to a public lecture with Ron Soodalter, author of The Slave Next Door, about the current issues facing our society due to the illegal slave trade and trafficking in America. He will also examine the current effects human trafficking has on our society and how new movements are aiming to finally put an end to this blight on the nation. He will speak on Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. in Jones Auditorium.
Through Soodalter's research, he uncovered that there are about 27 million people enslaved in the world today. That's twice as many people as were taken from Africa during the 350 years of the Atlantic Slave Trade. It is one of the most profitable criminal enterprises in the world. What do we need to do to ensure that every person in the world can rely on just laws for his or her protection?
Before writing his book, The Slave Next Door, Soodalter like many other history students, thought that slavery in the United States ended with the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment. After extensive research he found that slavery has always existed, from the days of its European discovery to the present day. Christopher Columbus enslaved the Taino Indians, which resulted in slavery becoming the social and economic order. Even after Civil War, and until the 1960s, planters practiced a form of debt bondage known as peonage, binding workers and their families to the land in an unending cycle of slavery.
Today, with the global population more than tripled since World War II, and with national borders collapsing around the world, people — in their desperate quest for a way to survive — have become easy targets for human traffickers. And once again, America is a prime destination. Soodalter believes that "people fall into debt to come here for the chance to earn a living, and perhaps to support or bring over their families, but instead of opportunity, they find slavery."
Soodalter, an expert on global and domestic human slavery, has taught throughout the New York area and currently serves on the Board of the Abraham Lincoln Institute. In addition to his books, Hanging Captain Gordon and The Slave Next Door, he has been a featured writer in magazines such as Smithsonian, Civil War Times, Portland, New York Archives, and True West, and is a featured columnist for America's Civil War. He is also the recipient of the International Regional Magazine Association's 2010 Gold Award.
Established through a gift from Ronya Kozmetsky and her late husband, George, the Kozmetsky Center of Excellence in Global Finance promotes understanding of global issues.
The Kozmetsky Center's programs present a broad spectrum of experts who are chosen for their ability to enrich the intellectual life of the university community, as well as to inform the broader public. Their presence is part of St. Edward's University's efforts to generate discussion of major national and international policy issues.
